My life ambition was almost truncated as I was born into a family with a very poor background. My father died when I was two years old and my poor lonely mother with three children became a farmer to put food on the table and this was the beginning of hardship for me and my siblings. Our hope of becoming educated was dashed into pieces before our very own eyes; we dropped out of school because my mother could not afford the cost of our education.

One fateful day, my late father’s elder sister visited us, and I took a drastic decision that became the turning point in my life. I pleaded with her to please take me with her so that I can attend school with her children. Out of pity see took me to her home and that was how I became the only educated child of my mother.

When I was growing up, I was always amazed about how computers worked, so I grew up admiring computers and the enthusiasm to become a Computer Scientist or a Computer Engineer waxed stronger at every stage of my life.

After graduating from high school my aunt could not send me to college due to old age, she was retired from active service. With full determination I began to work, and I started saving towards my college education. I worked for three years saving for my two year National Diploma Degree. I applied for computer science but was offered Geological Engineering at the Polytechnic of Ibadan, Nigeria. Out of excitement, I took the course and pursued my higher national diploma in Geology, but I wasn’t fulfilled after graduating.

With the realization that many companies are moving from just having physical offices to having online offices and the desire to contribute my quota to web- development and cyber security, I began taking online computer science courses and trainings to see how far it would assist me in fulfilling my dream of becoming a computer scientist. I was able to acquire a few other certificates in the Tech space (Google IT support certification and Customer Relation Management certification). I got an IT job with Whogohost a reputable IT company in Nigeria and became the breadwinner of my family. Saddled with many responsibilities, I became more passionate about success so that I can provide the needed support to liberate my family and assist my siblings with the opportunity to get education.

After several failed attempts to get admission to study Computer science, I finally secured an admission at Cardiff and Vale College, UK to study HND in Computing but was unable to resume the academic year due to lack of funding. 23.09.2021 was supposed to be my resumption date but unfortunately, I could not because I was unable to raise the total tuition fee of €12500, which will cover my 3years program.

I contacted Cardiff and Vale College, UK to request deferment of admission to the following academic year and this was granted, and I got an admission deferment mail. Currently, the challenge I have is how to raise this money so that my second chance at achieving my dream would not be defeated.

I humbly solicit your support to make my dream a reality. No amount is too small. With your support, I will become the Computer scientist my heart desires.
